Paige has been absent from WWE television for a long time. During the pandemic, she’s become a resident of LA, spending time, interacting with her loyal fanbase. Over the span of the last several months, she has become one of the biggest streamers from the world of pro-wrestling.
There have been many big stars from professional wrestling such as Adam Cole, Kenny Omega, and Xavier Woods who are also on Twitch. However, Paige has her own large fanbase following her on the streaming platform that also made her the biggest earning superstar in this genre. Per The Verge’s report, she has earned 478,224, last year from this platform.
Reason Why WWE Didn’t Release Paige In 2021
Now, the former WWE Divas Champion will be a part of Twitch’s Creators for Charity Holiday Drive. The event will hold streams by Twitch’s biggest content creators and the donations will go to charities. Paige took to Twitter to let her fans know how she feels about the whole experience. She is extremely proud of her appearance alongside some of the biggest names on Twitch, “Proud to be apart of this.”

Paige is a regular name on Twitch
Starting from last year, Paige generally streams twice a day on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Her channel was briefly banned for streaming copyright content, earlier this year but afterward, she has remained a constant fixture in this platform. As noted above, leaked reports in the fall suggested that she is making nearly $500K from Twitch, the most amongst any wrestling personality.
Paige had to retire from in-ring competition in 2018 following a neck concussion. In recent times, she has hinted at a possible in-ring comeback on social media although there’s no update on whether WWE is interested in bringing her back. Her current contract with WWE also expires in June of 2022.
One of the most popular female superstars of this generation, Paige is the first-ever NXT Women’s Champion who won the gold back in early 2013. In April 014, she also won the WWE Divas Championship from AJ Lee, becoming the youngest woman to ever hold the Divas or Women’s Champion in WWE history. Via that win, the UK-native also became the only woman to hold the WWE Divas and NXT Women’s Championship at the same time.
